The Carolina Panthers beat the Los Angeles Rams 31-28 in a exciting game that featured 5 lead changes.
Bryce Young surprisingly outplayed MVP front runner in Matthew Stafford. Young went 15 of 20 for 206 passing yards and 3 passing touchdowns. Young was able to capitalize on his defense forcing 3 turnovers from Stafford, including a pick-six and a forced fumble that won the game.
Bryce Young has been frustrating for fantasy owners and his believers. Young was QB20 on the season coming into this game. When he plays like he did today he has the potential to be a top 10 quarterback. That sounds crazy but Young finished the last 8 games of 2024 season as QB10 in that span.

Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers take down the Atlanta Falcons 30-27 in overtime while setting a franchise record.
Bryce Young overcame right ankle pain in the first quarter and would go on to not only lead Carolina to an overtime win but would also set the franchise record for passing yards in a game with 448 yards, surpassing the record of 432 set by Cam Newton.
Young bounced back from an ugly performance against the Saints in week 10, which saw him throw for only 124 passing yards. He spread the ball around on Sunday, but the primary beneficiary was Tetairoa McMillian, who finished the game with eight receptions, 130 yards and two scores. This win completes the sweep against their divisional rival and moves them within half a game of Tampa Bay for the division lead. Young finished Sunday with a stat line of 31 completions on 45 attempts, totalling 448 yards and three touchdowns.
The Carolina Panthers face the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football in Week 12 action.

Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan has been downgraded to questionable with a hamstring injury.
Panthers fans and fantasy gamers alike need to monitor Tetairoa McMillan heading into Sunday’s matchup versus the Saints. McMillan has been downgraded to questionable with a hamstring injury.
The injury comes at a time when there was hope for a breakout game against a weak Saints secondary. McMillan has 1 WR1 game with a 16.9 outing Week 8 versus the Bills. Should McMillan suit up, it will be enticing to start him in a juicy matchup.

The New England Patriots defeat the Carolina Panthers 42-13.
The Patriots quarterback Drake Maye finished the day 14-17 for 203 passing yards and 2 passing touchdowns, along with a rushing touchdown. Maye had some help from his special teams as Marcus Jones returned a punt 87 yards to the house and another huge return gave a short field for the offense. Rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson and running back Antonio Gibson each added a rushing touchdown also.
The Panthers had a massive let down this week after shutting out the Atlanta Falcons last week. Bryce Young didnt have any interception but he could not connect on a bunch of plays with players who were open. Young finished the day with 18 completions on 30 attempts for 150 yards and 1 touchdown. The lone touchdown from Young went to 2nd string tight end Tommy Tremble. Kicker Ryan Fitzgerald missed the PAT and came up hilariously short on a 55 yard field goal.
Drake Maye is top 10 quarterback in fantasy due to his dual ability to run and throw, he is currently QB6 on the season averaging 21.1 points per game. Maye’s most consistent target is tight end Hunter Henry who TE3 so far with 13.8 points per game. Both players are must starts every week. As for the running backs, the Patriots are a 3 back committee making it hard to rely on a certain player but rookie TreVeyon Henderson is starting to earn more playing time and looking like the most explosive player.
As for the Panthers, rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan is the only player worth starting in fantasy as he has a 24.3% target share. The touchdowns will come and he will be even more attractive start down the road. The running game is split between Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle with neither player being good enough to reliably start.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker will be placed on the Injured Reserve, missing the first four games of the season.
The sophomore wide receiver who has been turning heads this offseason is heading to the IR for the first four games with a quad injury. Jalen Coker has received glowing reviews from head coach Dave Canales, stating that Coker’s performance down the stretch in the 2024 season made the organization feel comfortable parting ways with veteran Adam Thielen. The word from Panthers camp is that Coker would get the opportunity to play out of the slot. A valued position for a big-bodied wide receiver who uses his leverage and strong hands to make plays against defenders.
The Panthers showed flashes at the end of last season, and quarterback Bryce Young is feeling confident and building some great chemistry with his young pass catchers. With the injury news and Thielen leaving town, this opens up a massive opportunity for rookie Tetairoa McMillan to burst onto the scene. The six-foot-4 receiver should immediately be the primary target earner after being drafted eighth overall in the 2024 draft. While he may not be the fastest player, he excels in the intermediate portion of the field when he is operating at full speed and battling for contested catches. We should anticipate a large number of targets and success for the rookie. Another player of note is Ja’Tavion Sanders, who did show some promise last season before dealing with some injuries. He is a late-round or waiver-wire stash.
This is a young offense on the rise, which is relatively cheap to acquire. According to Underdog, Tetairoa McMillan has an ADP of 38, Bryce Young sits at 150, while Sanders comes in at 195.

With the path to starter status clearing day by day, Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy is seeing a rise in draft stock.
The answer to who will be the starting quarterback in Minnesota gets clearer by the day. With the Vikings letting Sam Darnold walk in free agency and holding off from signing Aaron Rodgers, the easy deduction is that J.J. McCarthy will be the starting quarterback in 2025.
In addition to the Vikings letting Darnold and Rodgers come and go from their view, they also didn’t pursue re-signing Daniel Jones with much aggression. This has had an impact on McCarthy’s draft stock on Underdog. Since March 9th, McCarthy has risen 7.5 spots in ADP from QB-23 to QB-22 in round 12.
McCarthy is being selected just behind the Dolphins Tua Tagovailoa and ahead of the Panthers Bryce Young. J.J. McCarthy’s 108.2 athleticism score ranked 2nd in the 2024 quarterback class and is 13th in all time rank from Player Profiler’s pool of 297 quarterbacks. Factor in being able to throw to Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and T.J. Hockenson as supporting weapons creates a recipe for mass success in 2025. There is plenty of meat on the bone in round 12 to continue clicking J.J. McCarthy at current cost.
